I’m going to make my own from a few various materials and was looking for hard dimensions on the thin general yo .555s, dif e yo thins, or the one drop silicone .555s. Just going to try some gasket punches and some adhesive backed sheets from McMaster Carr. I would take calipers to the recess in my M1 but I don’t want to destroy what is left of my last pads. Any metric or standard measurements would be appreciated.

> I started looking on here for the bazpad/chazpad guide since I always found them to perform a lot better than old style dif pads. You’ll notice on older throws like anti-yo that they don’t fit your standard 18mm pad and instead took thin sticker pads. This is the guide copied from another forums old post that “IV” had made. I couldn’t find it on here so wanted to have it here in case someone else needed help with making some decent pads for their old throws. Of note is that plastidip before it …

This is what you’re looking for

Thanks, was using the wrong terms to find that with search. Will post updates as this project goes on. I have a couple ideas to avoid any curing times.
